HC> Herb... So do I, but still, the apparent demise of demime is a concern. I hope our good listguy will work out another solution, perhaps demime on smartlist. I wonder if attachments work? A short test of null file... Anyway, html and & or attachments are and always were considered very bad manners... But demime was a good soft to automatically take care of it, even though it strippled Pal Jensen's name of the Northern A with a dash :) Good light, Frantisek Vlcek this isn't null I know... sorry :)

RE: HTML Test
I'm not sure what the list rules are but a number of other lists I know of online usually do not allow HTML email (although it is possible to send it). The reasons for this, I'm sure people are aware of, are the following: 1) HTML while not being "huge" in terms of kilobytes does take up more room than standard text and therefore on a busy list could in fact tax the server. From another list I belong to: "When you send HTML to the list server, it sends both the HTML and plain text versions of your email to each and every subscriber, as well as archiving both versions into the digest forms of the list. That's at least double the work on the part of the server. You might not realize that, but if you have a list server with a lot of lists and a lot of subscribers on each list, doubling the workload can cause slow downs and untimely postings. Having the HTML in the digest generally makes the digest unusable, or at least a major pain to scan through." 2) The potential for abuse or viruses is obviously higher with HTML emails vs plain text - I'm not saying someone on the list would maliciously send a virus to the list but the potential is a lot higher with HTML (and embedded Javascript) vs plain text. I'm sure there may be more reasons but these were the two major ones that I can think of. I'm not against HTML but I do get concerned when it arrives via email from a list Cheers, Dave -Original Message- From: Simon King [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 4:33 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: HTML Test William, I agree it's bad manners, it's just that some member may not know they're sending HTML.
